GBpvr and Music

[nightwalker]

Odd, as far as I knew there was nothing configured to work with the |< button, what does it do? There is only one skip function in the plug-in and that skips the current playing song and goes to the next chosen song or the next random selection. It may end up being that the new version of GBpvr acts just a bit differently that the older version as far as the remote buttons go. I use this exclusivly with the MVP's and that may also account for our difference in operation.

I'm really reaching back a bit here but isn't there a file in GBpvr that allows you to map buttons to functions, something like the keymapping xml files?

Using |< restarts the current playing file for me.

The Keymapping file for Jukebox2 looks like this

<mappings>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_ESCAPE" key="Escape"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_ESCAPE" key="Home"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_ENTER" key="Enter"/>
<!-- <command name="JUKEBOX2_BACK" key="Back"/> -->
<command name="JUKEBOX2_UP" key="Up"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_DOWN" key="Down"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_LEFT" key="Left"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_RIGHT" key="Right"/>
<!-- <command name="JUKEBOX2_PAGE_UP" key="Prior"/> -->
<command name="JUKEBOX2_PAGE_UP" key="PageUp"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_PAGE_DOWN" key="Next"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_NEXT_SONG" key="^Right"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_RESTART_SONG" key="^Left"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_BLUE" key="^B"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_TOGGLE_CONTROL" key="^Y"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_EXCLUDE" key="^R"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_TOGGLE_PLAYLIST" key="^G"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_PAUSE" key="^Q"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_PLAY" key="^P"/>
<command name="JUKEBOX2_STOP" key="^S"/>
</mappings>

So it all looks correct. Doesn't it?

EDIT: And as a matter of fact, after looking at this keymapping file the pause does not work. As well as the Blue or Yellow Button (whatever blue and yellow does).

Will jukebox work w/ skins other than "blue"?

[Snooze]

In order for it to work with Blue Retro SHV, I copied from skin\blue to Skin\Blue-Retro-SHV. Note I did not write skin2. This is a legacy plugin, so it needs to go in skin.

Wow, I have no idea how that button restarts a song. I was not aware it was in the dll at all to even do that. I've gone back over my notes and I didn't document that at all. That button here does nothing.

The key mappings are for keyboards so you can control it from a keyboard. I was thinking there was a file similar to it but for remotes, maybe there isn't because so far I've not found it.

The only one of the colored buttons that is supposed to do anything is the red button, to include or exclude files or folder from play.

Since my GBpvr is in a closet and has no provisions for remote operation I can't test it for you. I operate Jukebox strictly from MVP's tied into the whole house music system. The fact that I use it through MVP's may account for the difference we're seeing, maybe, it's all I can think of.

It would be interesting to hear from others on what their remotes do.

When I get the source posted I'm hoping a good programmer will want to pick this up and correct a few items and get it updated for GBpvr's newer versions.

Ok. It reacts the same way with my keyboard, as it does the remote, FYI. Oh and Green (^G) toggles between "Playing now" and "Playlist".

Well at least that would make some sense that they would behave the same. Generally, almost any button when the now playing is up should take you back to the folder view. As far as I know the only button that takes you back to the now playing screen without the 30 second wait was the right arrow button. Of course we are finding some oddities of operation here and there. I wonder if everyone using 1.4.7 gets the same operation as you do or if it's somewhat system specific.

[Snooze]

Yeah, interesting. Wait and see I guess.

There are a couple of people playing with this that i know of, hopefully a couple will chime in with their experiences.

Snooze:

I just came across the file it was thinking of that controls how the Hauppauge remote works, or any remote. It's the irremote.ini file found in C:\Windows. You'll probably want to read up on it in the Wiki before you make any changes to it. As always save a copy of the original, just in case.

I also wondered if you had pressed the button to fix the Hauppauge remote in the config?
